Robert Hunt(IX)

- Composer
- Music Department
Robert Hunt began studying jazz improvisation with Sonny Saul, a
student of Dennis Sandole, when he was 12 years old and began composing
and recording his own music while attending the Performing Arts School
in Philadelphia. He studied classical piano with Nelly Berman and
Leonid Grin and was a founding member of several bands and music
ensembles that performed and recorded extensively. Early in his career
he recorded and produced hip-hop artists at DJ Jazzy Jeff's studio in
Gladwyne, PA. The layering techniques he learned and used during this
time has greatly influenced his music. Robert has composed for small
and large ensembles and his compositions have been described as
electroacoustic, minimalist, repetitive and polyphonic. In 2000 he
began collaborating with filmmakers composing scores for their films.
He plays the piano and synthesizer and considers the synthesizer to be
an instrument unto itself and not a replacement for acoustic
instruments.
